Donghai County is thousands of miles away from the capital of Yuzhou. According to the journey of a thousand-mile horse, it can be reached in one day.
But if they really do that, these horses will probably die.
After finally getting so many war horses, Zhao Ping was reluctant to let them burp.
So I discussed with Yingyi and calculated it based on a three-day trip.
First, hurry up and rush to the capital of Qingzhou.
Rest there, feed the horses well, and continue setting off the next day.
We must not forget to leave Mu Qiaoqiao in the state capital and we must not take her away.
On the second day, we continued to work hard and arrived at the top of the mountain where Shen Bao was.
Rest there and feed the horses.
Then on the third day, he bypassed Bianliang County, where the capital of Yuzhou is now, entered Yongzhou from the west of Yuzhou, stepped into Jincheng, and met with His Majesty.
Your Majesty should be able to hold on for three days... right?
And it's not Ying Yi's responsibility to rescue His Majesty.
Her mission was to find the abandoned princess. At the moment, she just heard that His Majesty was in trouble and subconsciously wanted to rescue him.
Thinking about it afterwards, I was indeed reckless.
Simply follow Zhao Ping's arrangements.
In fact, Zhao Ping also made a suggestion, asking her to rush to Jincheng alone.
But Yingyi rejected it.
Go to Jincheng by yourself?
How do I know where Jincheng is?
If he fainted on the way and His Majesty died, he might not be able to make it there.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Ping to follow Xia Quan and the others as an emergency plan as before.
Fortunately, scout Liu Muyun was there, and Ruan Wendi and Xia Quan were both familiar with "Thirty-Six Strategies" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War".
Even if they are defeated, it should be no problem to escape.
What's more, where are the soldiers and horses from Qingzhou?
After only half a day's journey, when they arrived at Yancheng County, they met a group of people.
Zhao Ping, who was leading the group, also knew him as the poisonous-mouthed Shen Bao.
This guy came to surrender, allowing Zhao Ping to see that he had indeed opened his mouth, but almost everything he said could develop in the opposite direction.
To this end, Zhao Ping also specifically asked him to speak a lot.
Some are proven, while others take time to ferment.
Zhao Ping didn't want to keep him by his side, and he was worried that one day his brain would get hot and he would say "Long live Zhao Ping" and then he would belch.
After discussing with Ruan Wendi and Liu Mengru, they asked him to return to Bianliang County in Yuzhou and bring all the remaining bandits to Xiping Village.
Then arrange for them to work.
He also warned Shen Bao to keep his mouth shut when nothing happens.
If I really couldn't control my mouth, I used a needle to sew it shut.
I didn't expect to meet here.
When Yingyi saw a group of bandits, he had already rushed forward, protecting Zhao Ping and the others behind him.
"Ying Yi is one of our own."
Zhao Ping reminded him, and Ying Yi relaxed his vigilance.
"Sir, why are you here? Could it be that you knew I was taking someone back to Xiping Village and came here to pick me up?"
Shen Bao said happily.
Pick you up?
You can really put gold on your face.
But Zhao Ping thought of a good strategy to save His Majesty.
He said hurriedly: "Shen Bao, now that the King of Yuzhou is rebelling, His Majesty may be in danger, so you can say something unfavorable to His Majesty."
"The king of Yuzhou successfully rebelled and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor."
Shen Bao seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and said very smoothly, "Our Majesty Chen Xuan will be shot to death by random arrows..."
Whoosh!
As soon as he said this, Shen Bao felt a cold wind coming, and then a chill came on his neck.
At some point, Ying Yi had a long sword in his hand, which was placed across Shen Bao's neck.
He was so frightened that he almost didn't urinate.
He hurriedly asked Zhao Ping for help.
"Ying Yi, he has a poisonous mouth, but whatever he says will tend to go in the opposite direction. I have verified that this is true."
Zhao Ping took Ying Yi's long sword away and continued: "Let him say bad things about His Majesty, but he actually wants His Majesty to be well."
Ying Yi did not withdraw the sword, but blinked at Zhao Ping.
As if to ask, "Is that so?"
Also seems to be ogling.
Zhao Ping was horrified when he saw it.
The peerless master winked at him, but Zhao Ping didn't dare to accept it.
I never even thought about messing with this kind of person.
Not even if she takes her home as a wife.
If something bad happens, she may snap away her happiness for the rest of her life on impulse.
Zhao Ping took two steps back with a guilty conscience, and said again: "Ying Yi, now I have thought of another good strategy to save His Majesty."
"tell me the story."
Ying held the long sword forward a little, leaving a blood mark on Shen Bao's neck.
Bleeding could occur at any time.
All the bandits following Shen Bao were gnashing their teeth. If Shen Bao hadn't asserted that it was all a misunderstanding, they would have rushed forward to fight Ying Yi.
"Shen Bao is a bandit."
Zhao Ping said hurriedly: "If the King of Yuzhou wants to deal with His Majesty, he must not rely solely on the strength of the Yuzhou garrison."
"As far as I know, the King of Yuzhou has ordered all the bandits in Yuzhou."
"All the bandits who gathered in Bianliang City will be restored to good status. If they can make meritorious service during the hostility against His Majesty, they may be granted official titles."
"This caused the bandits in Yuzhou to take action, and almost all of them gathered in Bianliang County."
"Shen Bao can take this opportunity to join the King of Yuzhou."
"Find the right opportunity to rebel and severely injure the King of Yuzhou. In this way, His Majesty's danger can be easily resolved."
Ying Yi blinked again and felt that this plan was feasible.
Then he said to Shen Bao: "Do you agree with Zhao Ping's strategy?"
"Agree, I agree."
Shen Bao answered without thinking.
Just kidding, with the knife held to his neck, how dare he disagree?
If you disobey even a little bit, you may lose your head and body.
But he kept cursing in his heart.
"You bitch, you dare to put a knife on my neck. I curse you to live a life of prosperity, wealth and wealth, and be a master."
"Curse you to have no true love in your life, and all you meet are liars who play with your feelings."
On the other hand, it means a lifetime of slavery and prostitution.
The jade arms are used as pillows for thousands of people, and the red lips are tasted by thousands of people.
Simply, life is worse than death.
But Ying Yi still did not withdraw the sword, but said indifferently: "It's useless to just say it, I need you to swear."
"Swear poison."
"I……"
Shen Bao almost spit out blood.
Due to the pressure, I could only swear honestly.
"I, Shen Bao, swear here that I will definitely seek refuge with the King of Yuzhou, wait for the opportunity to rebel, and catch them off guard."
"If you violate this oath, you will be struck by lightning and you will not die a good death."
Ying Yi nodded with satisfaction and withdrew his sword.
At this time, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky.
Then a bolt of lightning flashed and struck directly at Shen Bao.
Then the rumble of thunder was heard.
this……
Zhao Ping was stunned.
It came true.
Is he lying?
thump!
Shen Bao was struck by lightning and fell to the ground.
The whole body turned into a charred black state, not much different from burnt charcoal.
There is just some barbecue smell wafting out.
"You actually killed our boss, I want to kill you."
The bandits led by Shen Bao screamed angrily, pulled out the weapons in their arms and started to attack Ying Yi.
"stop!"
At this time, one of the bandits stood up.
It was Lu Pin, the sixth master.
He looked around at the group of bandits and asked, "What are we going to do when we leave the village this time?"
"Of course I went to Mr. Zhao of Xiping Village."
the bandit replied.
"In that case, why are you still attacking Mr. Zhao's people?"
Lu Pin said coldly: "Are you wasting the life path that the master sought for us in vain?"
"Following the King of Yuzhou to fight against the imperial court is tantamount to death."
"Your Majesty has succeeded in suppressing the rebellion. As bandits, we will have no place to stand."
"At this time, the only way we can have a chance is to follow sir."
"But, our boss is dead?"
Some people were dissatisfied and asked: "Are we just going to watch him die without avenging him?"
"How did the boss die?"
Lu Pin asked rhetorically.
Those bandits wanted to be killed by Ying Yi.
But what about reality?
Before they could speak, Lu Pin continued: "The boss was struck to death by lightning. We all can see this clearly."
"Why was it struck by lightning?"
"Obviously, he just lied and had no real intention to help Mr. Zhao, lurking next to the King of Yuzhou, waiting for an opportunity."
"So God sent down thunder to punish him for his disloyalty."
"I can't blame Mr. Zhao for this."
"On the contrary, we should take this as a warning and be loyal to Mr. Wang without any second thoughts."
"Otherwise, he might be struck to death by lightning."
"That's all I have to say."
"You can think about the rest by yourself, but Mr. Zhao doesn't have much time, so he can only give you half a quarter of an hour to make your choice."
"Those who are willing to follow me and work for my husband to lurk beside the King of Yuzhou should stand on my left."
"If you don't want to, stand on the right hand side."
"I don't force it. After all, we are brothers, we have worked together for so many years, and we have a certain emotional foundation. We can leave at will and make a living on our own."
"As long as you don't go to the King of Yuzhou to report the news."
"Okay, let's start."
